TECHNICAL FIELD

The invention relates to a computer desk with a drawer connected with elbow support boards, specifically applicable to desks in offices and at home.

TECHNICAL BACKGROUND

For people working at a traditional desk for a long time, hunchback and myopia are easily caused as both forearms and elbows are supported on a rectangular desk panel during writing; furthermore, the elbows hang and the upper body leans forward when people operate a computer keyboard and a mouse, and muscles of the neck and the shoulder serve under tension, thus resulting in muscle pain at the neck and the shoulder.

In recent years, the left and right elbow support boards as high as the desk panel extend from the edge of the desk panel at one side of a desk (a computer is arranged at the desk panel thereof) close to a human body, to ensure that both forearms and elbows are respectively supported on the left and right elbow support boards to facilitate people to operate the computer keyboard and the mouse on the desk panel or write on the desk panel, thereby being capable of avoiding hunchback and myopia as well as muscle pain at the neck and the shoulder and making people feel comfortable in the operation of the mouse. However, wrists need to upwarp or forearms need to lift to operate the keyboard as the upper surface of the computer keyboard is higher than the desk panel. Fatigue is also incidental to wrists and the forearms, and even muscle pain possibly occurs at the neck and the shoulder.

As shown in Drawing 12, when the keyboard of a desktop computer is arranged on the upper (positive) surface of the two-sided keyboard supporting seat 7, the surfaces 711 of the left and right vertical struts are supported on the top surfaces of two corresponding slider boards 13 in a sliding manner while the front end of the desk panel 3 (at one side of the drawer panel 11) presses against the upper sections of the rear end surfaces 712 of the left and right vertical struts 71; therefore, the two-sided keyboard supporting seat 7 is fixed in a position opposite to the desk panel 3, so as to facilitate people to stably operate the keyboard of the desktop computer;

As shown in Drawing 14, when the two-sided keyboard supporting seat 7 is turned by 180 degrees to ensure a notebook is arranged on the lower surface (reverse side) thereof, the top surfaces 713 of the left and right vertical struts 71 can slide forwards to be lifted and supported on the top surfaces of the two corresponding slider boards 13 while the outer sides of the left and right blocks 72 press against the front end of the desk panel 3 (at one side of the drawer panel 11). Therefore, the two-sided keyboard supporting seat 7 is fixed in a position opposite to the desk panel 3, so as to facilitate people to stably operate the keyboard of the notebook computer.

When a computer is not operated, the two-sided keyboard supporting seat 7 is moved to the rear side of the drawer bottom board, which is shown in Drawing 11; when the desk is prepared for operation, the drawer 1 is firstly pulled out, and the left and right elbow support boards and the mouse board are unfolded, and then the two-sided keyboard supporting seat is moved to the front side of the drawer bottom board and lifted; furthermore, the left and right vertical struts 71 are supported on the top surfaces of the two slider boards 13 that can be replaced by guide rails of the same height relation in a sliding manner, which is shown in Drawings 9 and 10; in addition, the upper surface, namely the top surface of buttons, of a keyboard (which is not shown in the drawings and generally is the keyboard of a desktop or notebook computer arranged in an inclined manner) supported on the two-sided keyboard supporting seat 7 is approximately as high as (or slightly lower than) the upper surfaces of the right elbow support board 4 and the left elbow support board 5; therefore, the keyboard can be ensured to be operated without need to upward wrists or lift forearms. And the computer desk can be adopted as a table for desktop computers or notebook computers.

Additionally, when reading and writing are conducted on the desk panel, the two-sided keyboard supporting seat 7 is pushed to the rear side of the drawer 1 (above the drawer bottom board), and the mouse board 6 is turned into the drawer 1 while the drawer 1 is positioned under the desk panel 3; people can write with a comfortable sitting posture as shown in Drawing 4, since the upper surfaces of the right elbow support board 4 and the left elbow support board 5 are as high as (or higher than) the upper surface of the desk panel 3. And the computer desk can be used as a writing desk.

The third embodiment of the invention is composed of a drawer 1, a supporting rack 2, a desk panel 3, a right elbow support board 4 and a left elbow support board 5, which is shown as Drawings 15 to 19, wherein:
